HC,

The rocky cliff sides would show up a very stark Red compared to all that Blue now wouldn't they?

Back when we were using DECCA we had a moving Map such as it was....not that I would consider DECCA a modern Navigational system even when we were using it.

Modern day Moving Map displays might not be all that much use over the North Sea....but when departing and landing ashore it would be nice to have.



A question that I keep asking.....why are these event happening on the UK side of the North Sea and not on the other side? Is it just my memory fails me or are we really not seeing any on the other side? I am not suggesting anything....so don't get your feathers ruffled.....honest question here.

If we are not having crashes and ditching on the east side....then what are the factors that might be in play that keeps them from having the same problem?
